The pink and white skirt features Barbie figures from across the decades in various iconic poses, making the gown itself a kind of archive in fabric. The box carries the same design language: pink squares with Barbie silhouettes at different scales covering every surface. It is the most specifically self-referential Barbie of the 2000 release year, and possibly of any release year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvon and Mattel had an exclusive partnership for collector Barbie dolls that ran through the nineties and into the early 2000s, producing dolls available only through Avon representatives — not in stores, not through Mattel's own retail partnerships. Timeless Silhouette was one of the more ambitious of these Avon exclusives: dressing Barbie in 1959-era fashion to mark the turn of the millennium gave it a genuine anniversary logic (Barbie had debuted at the New York Toy Fair in March 1959), and the skirt-as-archive gave it a visual sophistication that most Avon Barbie releases didn't quite reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please note: The outer flap has creasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mattel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29050\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelody Likes box condition grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/MelodyLikes-Doll-Box-Condition-Guide_05303af8-20b2-4137-8091-87f3c51d9668.png?v=1773150063\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView our box condition guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mattel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47696709943486,"sku":"BARBIE-2000-TIMELESS-DOLL0001","price":134.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/2000-barbie-timeless-silhouette-doll-nrfb-cu2.jpg?v=1782133877","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/2000-barbie-timeless-silhouette-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
